#plus i wouldn't have been able to afford to get into farming anyways unless I was written into a will of some random farmer or smth

ik im often the exception to the rule but man it made me go absolutely nuts when some lady tried to say "you don't hear young people saying they want to become farmers anymore! young people don't want to work hard!" (says the woman who grew up in a big city and has never worked on a farm) in the van on the way to a hiking trail with the centre. i could not keep my mouth shut because /i/ have wanted to become a farmer since i was four years old. i used to talk about becoming a pig farmer when i was 4-10 years old and every adult would laugh at me bc they thought it was so silly (and they'd try to tell me how evil and mean pigs are) and I was always upset and confused because I just loved pigs and I loved what I'd learned about farming and I wanted to work hard all day on a farm.

anyways i did actually look into the logistics of farming sheep (because my focus switched to sheep for wool lol) a couple years ago but it turns out it'd be crazy expensive to get into and then I got sick and now I've got wicked chronic fatigue so... RIP my lifelong dream of farming.

I told her about the sheep thing and she shut up about how young people are lazy lmao. I really hate when people try to lump an entire generation into one concept or idea or criticism or whatever. we are all different people from different walks of life and we all have different experiences and ideas. there is no universal truth to any generation other than "we were born in roughly the same span of years".
